For me personally, I used to rock a mohawk as a teen, I would still rather do that than get my cheek peirced. I only say this because a few of my friends peirced a lot of places on their face and body including the cheeks, when they took the peircings out after having baby's and marriage, they have scars on their cheeks from the peircing. I say at least the hair can grow back or be changed, also depends on what style of mohawk you are talking about, there are many things you can do to change it as well.
